Scott Silber

Scott is the former organizing director of Colorado's public workers' union and served as lead faculty at the Youth Organizing Institute at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Constitutional Studies and Democratic Development. Since 1994 his campaigns --in three dozen states and four continents to date-- continue to add to a community-based toolbox for grassroots empowerment. He works nationally today on "Intervention 2013," a strategy for worker and student walkouts demanding a New New Deal process, beginning with an amendment abolishing corporate personhood and making all electoral campaigns publicly funded.
